These beautifully handcrafted lei are made from large, genuine, high-quality ring-top cowrie shells. The shell portion of the lei measures approximately 36 inches and it is approximately 1 inch wide in a braid type style. Since they are handcrafted with real shells, no two are alike. The shells vary slightly in size. These can also be taken apart to use for other projects. If you don't see what you're looking for here, please ask, we have many other styles, colors and shell lei and bracelets available.
